1st Annual Midwest Winter Beer Festival

http://www.bigsplashevents.com/

Went to this Saturday 1pm - 5pm. Was fun.
Don't let the title fool you -- there wasn't anything particularly Midwest or Winter about it. Sure there were a few reiognal breweries represented, but not exclusively.
Was funny that Diageo's table was Guiness, Smithwicks, Red Stripe, and Smirnoff Ice. Maybe it was just me, or you had to be there, but c'mon guys.
Of the 76 brews, I "sampled" 13 in about 3 hours. They were 4 ounce samples, so relax:
Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA
Dogfish Head Raison D'Etre*
Dogfish Head Red & White*
Brooklyn Monster
Brooklyn Winter Ale*
Mt. Carmel Nut Brown Ale
Rogue Mocha Porter
Sierra Nevada Harvest Ale
Sierra Nevada ESB
Bell's Expidition Stout*
471 IPA*
Goose Island Matilda
Maredsous 10*
(* = New for me)
